MODERATORS
 

I run a few groups, like @[email protected], mostly on Friendica. It's okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.

Currently, I'm testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It's in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it's coming along nicely.

Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.

All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!

Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.

How expensive hardware and bandwidth wise to host an instance?

[–] mcc 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haven't done it myself, just missing a lot of the knowledge, but suspect just a regular PC is enough if you are hosting for a small group of people. I was thinking to just build an instance for myself to sub other communities.

True. I hadn’t considered having a private instance just for me. That is actually a nice idea.

That's currently me. Running on the cheapest two core Digital Ocean droplet. I don't think it can handle much more than just me haha
